Help with family conflicts

[Guest guest]

Satnam dearest one,

I feel your pain so deeply and hope that you find support whereever you can,

especially in your spiritual practice. I don't speak to my father. It has

been a year now and my heart feels crucified.I love him and my family so

much. However it is saving me from even a worst fate. my family members are

absolutely appalled. What I have found that works for me right now is to not

address the situation concerning him with my family. I simply have made it

none of their business and have refused to say anything negative about him

to them. This way I relate to my family and keep a relationship with them

which I so desperately need.Some have been cold in their conversations and

some have not. I know that on some occasions it is going to be harder than

some but I hav e had to come to terms with this and I am paving a way for a

spiritual path that comes from such pain that hits the heart so closely.My

father loves me and I think of the good times with him in the privacy of my

heart. My subtle body prays for him and heals him and that is my relationship

with him now until my meditation says otherwise. Be wise about your life and

your decisions and live and love in your own way and terms. The path of a

yogi leads to deattachment but compassion first for oneself and then

another.You will be okay and some day share the strenght of this experience

with others.Right now yoga and meditation is my best friend and could be

yours to.

Thank you for your honesty and your honor and I hope that I was helpful to

you
